Judging
Each entry was scored by at least 7 judges (and up to 15) from other NATAS chapters on a scale of 1 to 7 for Content, Creativity, and Execution. Craft categories were judged solely on Creativity and Execution. Total scores were divided by the number of judges. The mean score was ranked from highest to lowest within each category. The Chapter Awards Committee reviewed the scores without knowing which categories they represented and determined cutoff scores for nominations and recipients.
The Emmy® statues will be awarded Saturday, August 22, 2026, at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento. The evening starts at 5 p.m. with a reception, then a four-course dinner. Gala tickets are $200 for members, $250 for non-members. Deadline to buy tickets is July 31. The Chapter assigns seating. Tables for 10 are available at a discounted rate of $1,800 for those wishing to sit with friends, saving $200. Purchase tickets at emmysf.tv. The awards ceremony will be livestreamed on our website starting at 6:30 p.m.
Discounted hotel rooms are available at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento across the street from the convention center. A special group rate of $189 is available and can be booked by visiting: https://www.hyatt.com/events/en-US/group-booking/SACRA/G-HNCE
